yes . multi-site is very much a supported feature. so is the update 
system. their combination needs to be supproted as well.

the only solution that is even somewhat workable in my small brain is to 
warn the user and then upgrade all the sites at once. i think thats the 
deal with multi-site. you need to do separate sites if you want them to 
be on different versions. if you can think of more flexible solutions, 
thats great.
